Advent III: Love.  Christmas is for kids, and today we tell magical stories of this special season. And the Hand Bells will be playing! Feel free to wear your PJs, Christmas sweaters, or comfy clothes, bring your favourite stuffie and maybe a cushion, and we’ll have cookies (baked by the children!) and milk.

May 7 – Blessing of the Pets

Sunday, May 7th at 10:30am – Outdoor Service

In church tradition, the Day of the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, has become known as a day to bless animals. The link to St. Francis and blessing animals flows from his theological stance regarding the care of creation and a belief of the interconnectedness of all things.

At Beach United Church, we plan to engage in this tradition through an outdoor service on Sunday, May 7 at 10:30am.

Bring your pets! All are welcome – from cats to cockatiels; hamsters to hares!
